The San Diego Union-Tribune has a piece under the headline, Ranking the top 32 interior offensive linemen in the 2026 NFL draft, and if you've been following along you can probably guess why that is included here. From the column (LINK):
31. Delby Lemieux (Sr., Dartmouth, 6-5, 309)
Lemieux is an intriguing FCS/Ivy developmental bet with workable tools (9.30 RAS). He’s a two-time FCS All-American who was the first Dartmouth player invited to the Senior Bowl in more than 40 years. He held his own with interior reps, considering he’s only ever played left tackle for the Big Green. Projected: Round 7-PFA
Another outlet has a piece headlined 2026 NFL Draft high-upside sleepers that offers this explanation of the players it includes:
From small-school outliers to Power Four contributors returning from injury, sleepers in this exercise are generally projected to Day 3 (Rounds 4-7).
The column includes players from Georgia, Notre Dame, Michigan, Indiana, Georgia Tech and Arkansas among others. Among those others: Dartmouth.
From the story (LINK):
C Delby Lemieux, Dartmouth
Lemieux is a high-IQ technician who impressed scouts by transitioning from left tackle to center during the 2026 Senior Bowl. Standing 6’4” and 305 pounds, the three-time All-Ivy selection earned an elite 84.6 overall PFF grade in 2025, allowing only one sack.
At his pro day, he registered a 5.02-second 40-yard dash and a 1.71-second ten-yard split. His technical proficiency in zone-blocking schemes makes him an ideal candidate for teams seeking an athletic, cerebral center.

For years Patriot League followers have said the league needed to relax its ban on redshirting if it wanted to be a player on the FCS scene. Although Lehigh put the lie to that need last year, newcomer Villanova is looking to test the limits not just of the Patriot League, but of the NCAA, in what might be an even more dramatic way. The Wildcats are petitioning the NCAA to bring back quarterback Pat McQuaide, who is looking for a sixth year in college football. Per a story posted by Philadelphia Sports Now (LINK), here's McQuaide's football journey that the NCAA will be considering:
2021 – Kent State (redshirt)
2022 – Mississippi Gulf Coast (junior college)
2023 – Nicholls State
2024 – Nicholls State
2025 – Villanova (grad transfer)
2026 – Villanova? (second-year grad transfer?)
Green Alert Take: Comprised of academically competitive schools, the Patriot League began life as like-minded, non-scholarship sister conference to the Ivy League. The Patriot League's addition of scholarships represented a significant change of direction, and should Villanova's petition succeed and the Wildcats have a sixth-year QB, it would represent another.

Several years ago in this space I mentioned my "Michelin Man" jacket. I call it that, I wrote, because "When I have it on it looks a little like I pulled the pin to inflate it with a CO2 cylinder like you would with a life vest on an airplane."
